Can we all just stop talking about this 'boy'.

I saw him on sat and I was sat very near him.

He won't be able to play senior football at either championship or Premier for at least 2 years. The lad is tiny and he has an awful lot of growing to do. It would be good to keep him but we can't afford to offer him an 1st team football for at least 2 years. I really was suprised how small he is.

Have to agree with that. Have seen him a couple of times and he looks about 8 (or perhaps it is just the fact that I am becoming an old git!!!)

Don't out yourself down, as I thought excactly the same and I am 30, so only semi past it ;).

Think this picture pretty much makes the point....

[lowerlofter]

Comparing Reserve team football to 1st team football is like comparing burgers and steak.

I remember when Michael Owen started playing for Liverpool and how young he was/looked.

[WeAreQPR12]

[scott_jones]

[WeAreQPR12]

Above are a list of players all to have played 1st team footbal at a very young age. Some at a very high level, others at a decent standard. Some became greats of World football. Some still learning their trade. The point I'm making is that we will never know until they get a chance to prove themselves. Who are you to say he'll never play for a year or two? If he shows promise, he deserves a chance so no...I won't stop talking of him as for the 1st time in years we have a genuinely exciting prospect to
look forward to. I hope we get to see him on the hoops this season and that would restore some faith and pride back into our supporters. I can't believe that some are condemning this.
